[He pretty obviously didn't mean to turn on the video function, from the way he's just staring dully at his wristband and then jerks away from it startled when he notices the feed going.]

...fuckin', weird space technology.

[An odd, stilted voice from out of view filters up to the feed. It's pretty neat, really., it says, and Ichimatsu's sparse little eyebrows crash together and he looks down. A moment later, the feed whirls as he moves and hefts a bizarre-looking orange cat into his lap, and he folds his free hand gently over the feline's ears.]

You're gonna have to stop doing that.

[The cat's mouth moves, but he just stares blankly ahead like he has no real idea he's speaking in the first place.] You're gonna make people wanna steal you and sell you again.

[A slow, huffed sigh, and Ichimatsu frowns at the communicator.]

...so, uh. My cat can talk, do us both a favor and don't try to steal him and sell him.

I'll pull out your entrails and feed them to you.

[He chokes, and covers the cat's mouth this time.] Stop that!!

[He closes his eyes and tries to think of a succinct answer. The cat's gonna say the rest of it if he lies, anyway.]

Long story involving weird professors and needles. In the ass!

[...Sigh.] ...yeah.

[rumbling]

[ There's nothing in all the worlds that Maine hates more than needles. ]

sounds like a good partner, then, if he took a shot in the ass for you.

[ That's real friendship. ]

[ichimyatsu]

[Needle hatred solidarity.]

something like it, at least.

[rumbling]

[ They completely suck. ]

something like that? sounds like you don't know what appreciation is.

[ichimyatsu]

i mean, the cat is my best friend, easy. "partner" sounds a little odd.

[rumbling]

a cat is your best friend.

[ o...kay?? ]

[ichimyatsu]

cats > people on any given day of the week. is that a problem?

[rumbling]

[ He kind of knows someone a little like this. ]

no, not really.
sounds a little boring though.
but, i guess that doesn't matter since yours talks.

[ichimyatsu]

[Ichimatsu is kind of his own form of terrible disaster, apologies.]

consider also that i'm one of six siblings.
silence is literally golden to me.

[rumbling]

[ Maine is used to terrible disasters. He is one. All his company are them. ]

well, shit.
guess i can't blame you for that. i like silence, too.
so maybe it's not so good the cat talks.
